Sidn,the registry for .nl and ENUM NL,announced a few days ago the implementation of Domain Name System Security Extensions on its Enum zone.
SIDN also intends to implement DNSSEC on the .nl zone as well.
Roelof Meijer,CEO of SIDN stated :"We are very pleased with this first step towards the successful deployment of DNSSEC for the ENUM zone. With nearly 3.5 million .nl domain names, the .nl zone is much bigger than the Dutch ENUM zone currently is, and much more important. As a result, the implementation of DNSSEC for the .nl zone is no sinecure: a zone’s operational complexity is closely related to its size and the number of different parties involved. So we feel it’s extremely important that certain operational issues are resolved and that the DNSSEC processes are largely automated before we go ahead. Naturally, we are doing what we can to make that happen – through the IETF and ICANN, for example. In the meantime, we are gaining experience by implementing DNSSEC for ENUM – experience that should stand us in good stead when DNSSEC is deployed on the .nl zone."
